Histoire : La région fut visitée par des Espagnols au XVIe siècle. En 1706, Juan de Ulibarri en prit possession pour l'Espagne. Les États-Unis acquirent la partie nord en 1803, et le reste de l'État provient de territoires mexicains et texans (1848-1850). Territoire (1861), puis 38e État de l'Union (1876), le Colorado se développa à la fin du XIXe siècle par suite de l'activité minière (or et argent) qui suscita l'immigration et le développement des chemins de fer. 4, record 1, French, - Colorado
